My nihilist take of the day: Maybe sometimes its just for the best to do nothing, you can not fix all of the worlds issues yourself after all. Maybe spend your attention on something less important no one really cares about.
Rate your nihilism at a scale X out of 10. For me it is perhaps a 6
There’s something called ”positive nihilism“ that I feel works super well for me to keep the doom and gloom at bay. Like if nothing matters - you’re free. If it doesn’t matter what you do, then do whatever makes you feel good! It doesn’t matter to go to that event because you’ll die at some point anyway? Well then go to an event that you want to go to because you’ll feel good, or don’t! So to answer the question haha, maybe like a 4/10
idk how many different types of nihilism there are; seems like there are many.
That sounds similar to epicureanism: your goal in life is to experience pleasure, but it isn’t just straight hedonism. For example life is more pleasurable when you are healthy, so you have to eat well and exercise to maintain your pursuit of pleasure.
I’m nihilistic in this way. I didn’t know this is a thing, thanks for sharing! :D Have a great day!
Kurzgesagt covered it nicely.
saw that, I agree so much.
Like yeah, I messed up the wording on that one comment a year ago and it may have offended some random person (sorry?) but really, it doesn’t matter
the thing I messed up was putting the wrong punctuation or grammar or something. the person I may have offended was either a grammar nazi or my english teacher… or both
I believe this is the Absurdist take
